When Liu Dong pushed his bicycle to Mr. Li's door, he saw Li Yuncong sitting boredly on the stone steps in front of Chenxiang Pavilion, playing with his mobile phone.
"Xiaodong, you're finally here! What time is it now? If you don't come again, I will pick you up myself!" When he saw Liu Dong coming with the cart, Li Yuncong jumped up and took a few big steps.
Coming to Liu Dong's side, he said with a happy expression.
Looking at his appearance, Liu Dong said in surprise: "Don't the Stone Gambling Conference start at ten o'clock? It's only a little after eight o'clock now, why are you in a hurry?" Along the way, he received many calls from Li Yuncong.
A phone call from someone urging him to come over quickly.
"Hey, my Xiaodong, if we go early, can't we see the gambling stones earlier? If we go late, others will pick up the good stuff, and we won't have anything to do!"
After listening to what he said, Liu Dong couldn't help but roll his eyes. He had a good understanding of this guy's temper these days and was too lazy to pay attention to him. He pushed his bicycle to Mr. Li's door and stopped.
At this time, perhaps because he heard Li Yuncong's chatter, Mr. Li, who was sitting in Chenxiang Pavilion to rest, also walked out, looked at Liu Dong who had parked his car and walked over, and said with a smile: "Xiaodong is here!"
"Yes, Mr. Li!"
Looking at the respectful, polite, studious, and very talented young man in front of him, the old man couldn't help but show deep affection in his eyes, and the smile on his face made Li Yuncong next to him envious. You must know that he and Li Yuncong were envious.
Mr. Li has known him for much longer than Liu Dong, but the person he likes the most is Liu Dong, who has only studied antique appraisal with him for less than a month. This makes him very happy.
Of course, during the few days he spent with Liu Dong, he also truly realized what genius is and what a true photographic memory is. Putting any knowledge about antique appraisal in front of Liu Dong, he would basically take a look at it.
He can memorize it word for word after reading it over and over again. He can firmly remember and apply any identification knowledge and methods that come from Mr. Li's mouth. Growing up, Li Yuncong, who has an extraordinary family background, rarely envied him.
Among his peers, Liu Dong's learning ability and understanding really made him feel envious.
"Have you eaten? If not, I happen to have some that I just made in the morning. Let Wu Ma heat it up for you!" Mr. Li greeted warmly.
After hearing what he said, Liu Dong quickly shook his head, "Mr. Li, don't bother, I already had it at home before I came here!"
"Yes!" After nodding, Mr. Li suddenly said: "By the way, Xiaodong! The master of ancient painting paste I told you some time ago has agreed to take action!"
"Really!?" After hearing this, Liu Dong couldn't help but asked with joy and a hint of disbelief. The old man Li told him about was very capable and had many famous names. He thought there was no chance.
But I didn’t expect that it would actually happen in the end.
You must know that in his hands, in addition to the imitation of Huang Binhong's "Thousand Miles of Rivers and Mountains", there is also a more precious crane painting that is thought to be disguised. Both the author and the painter of these two paintings
His own painting skills are top-notch, so Liu Dong wants the best poster master to paint them intact for him.
There is a saying, "Third points for painting, seven points for mounting!" The quality of mounting directly affects the value of a painting. If not for this, the ancient crane painting by a top painter would not have been abandoned by others.
It's like a waste. Of course, in Liu Dong's heart, only the master mentioned by Mr. Li is truly worthy of those two masterpieces handed down from generation to generation.
Seeing the excited smile on Liu Dong's face, Mr. Li smiled and nodded, "But don't be too happy first. Although I agreed, he is not in Quancheng, so if you want someone to frame your painting,
, you still need to make a trip yourself."
"This is no problem, when?" Liu Dong asked again.
"It's okay within a week, it just depends on what's convenient for you that day!"
After listening to Mr. Li's words, Liu Dong felt relieved. There were only three days for the Stone Gambling Conference in Quancheng, and a week was already very sufficient. Therefore, now he didn't have to worry about this long-awaited Stone Gambling Conference.
The plate was delayed because of the mounting of calligraphy and painting!
"Great, now you don't have to worry about delaying the Quancheng Stone Gambling Conference!" At this time, Li Yuncong, who was standing behind Liu Dong, couldn't help but said happily. But before he could continue to be proud, Mr. Li was
A stern look in his eyes immediately made him calm down.
"Xiaodong, before you go, come to my place and I'll give you their phone number so you can find someone when you get there!" the old man said.
"I understand, Mr. Li!" Liu Dong nodded in agreement.
After nodding, the old man's face suddenly fell, and he reached out and pointed to the side eager to try. His eyes were not looking at his watch. Li Yuncong, with a hint of anxiety on his face, said in a stern tone: "Xiaodong! I know you are good at what you do.
I feel reassured by my sense of propriety. So this time when you go gambling on stones, you must keep an eye on this guy, and you must not let him act as he pleases, do you understand?"
After hearing this, Liu Dong glanced at Li Yuncong, who looked depressed next to him, and couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Li, I will pay attention!"
"Yeah!" After nodding, Mr. Li hesitated and said again: "You must remember the ancient saying of 'Small gambling makes you happy, but big gambling hurts your body'. You can gamble on stones, but you can't live!"
"I understand, Mr. Li! Don't worry!"
Seeing the respectful look on Liu Dong's face, Mr. Li nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, let me tell you this, otherwise you will find me a verbose old man again!" After speaking, the old man waved at them.
He waved his hand.
Seeing this, Li Yuncong, who had been waiting impatiently for a long time, said goodbye to Mr. Li, took Liu Dong and left quickly.
"Oh, why are older people so nagging? My grandfather is like this, Mr. Li is like this, and Uncle Long is the same!" After getting acquainted with Liu Dong, Li Yuncong naturally knew that he had the closest relationship with Liu Dong.
The close Mr. Long. Moreover, his informality and bold personality are also deeply loved by Uncle Long, so he spends more time with Uncle Long these days than with Mr. Li.
Hearing this, Liu Dong couldn't help but smile, "Haha, be careful what you say, or the old man will slap you after hearing it!"
Hearing Liu Dong's words, Li Yuncong shrank his neck subconsciously. It was obvious that he had suffered this kind of loss before, and he didn't say anything more at the moment. He just urged: "Hey, let's go quickly, otherwise it will be too late!"
"By the way, has the friend you mentioned before arrived?" Li Yuncong suddenly asked after walking a few steps.
"Well, the time has arrived yesterday, and I made an appointment with him to meet at Uncle Long's place!" He had already told Li Yuncong about Zhou Bin before.
"Well, let's go there quickly! It would be rude to ask people to wait for us!" Although he said this, Liu Dong, who had gotten to know his character in the past few days, knew that he didn't want Zhou Bin to wait, so he went early.
The Stone Gambling Conference was real. But he didn't point it out, because if there was nothing else, he wanted to go there as soon as possible.
Mr. Li's Chenxiang Pavilion and Uncle Long's Taiyi Pavilion are both located in the most central area of the entire antique city. They are the same size and are the top shops in the antique city, so the distance between them is not too far. Therefore, there is no
Five minutes later, the two of them stepped into the main entrance of Taiyi Pavilion.
"Brother Mu, good morning!" After walking into the main entrance of Taiyi Pavilion with familiarity, Liu Dong immediately saw Mu Gang who was cleaning the house and was as majestic as a mountain.
